From the artist: “The body of work titled ’tillandsia’ is the celebration of an innocuous plant that is misnamed a moss, considered a weed, and accused of being a parasite. Live Oaks in Texas look like they have stepped out of old growth forests. This impression comes partly from the twisting, sprawling form of the trees itself, and party from the ferns, mosses and air plants that grown within their canopies. One of these, however, is often reviled – Ball Moss. A post in a neighborhood Facebook group asking for help in “getting rid of the Ball Moss that makes the trees messy”, alongside the growing trend for air plants, like Ball Moss, as home decoration, was the catalyst for this work.”
